@@Vertical-sandwiches same. It’s a real pain I never wanted to feel. The pain of losing the MEN in our lives that had such an affect on our lives... the ones who showed us how to live. That’s a pain that still hurts me years after losing them both.
You start playing and I cry. you could probably sing the alphabet and I would still cry. The honesty, love, and vulnerability come through loud and clear 💜. You're awesome
A kid I know committed suicide in high school. The first time I heard this song was played at his funeral. The lyrics were so impactful and I could hardly maintain any form of calm. Once I broke the lyrics were only repeating through my head as if Johnny Cash was playing them himself. I will never forget moments in life like that.
I think that more of us that are growing old , time is thief, it comes for all of us. While I'm 49 it's songs like this that everyone at some point in there life will relate. Time goes by fast what will you do to help mend things said and un said, things done that can't be undone. Great job!
I don't comment a lot about guitar playing, but as a player and singer I am stunned. Not many people can play the guitar as accurate and sing like you do here. Very few mistakes. Almost every sound is deliberate.
Frank, arrange a live session please ! I will organise and take care of it if you want! But people need to listen to this voice and not just during these unprecedented times!
I'm glad UA-cam recommended me this channel! Good guitar playing with an emotional voice rending unexpected songs. The internet needs more people like you, sir. Thank you!
Dear God--another song I adore (I prefer the Cash version to NIN's, even though I love them too) that you absolutely nail. Honestly, I don't enjoy many covers, because many musicians just do them without seeming to add anything themselves, but you have a way of making them all sound as if you wrote them yourself, from your own life. Bravo, again.
this song... is uhm.. really hitting close to me right now. I'm in a really dark place, I have been for awhile, and I'll admit this cover brings me to tears everytime I listen to it but it's honestly beautiful. you have an amazing voice sir and I wish you well. in this dark place I'm in, I have your covers to relax me. and I thank you for that :)
I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear my crown of shit On my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stain of time The feeling disappears You are someone else I am still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way Songwriters: Trent Reznor
Mr. Watkinson, if I may ask, but have you ever cried during and to any of your performances? The simplicity with which you transmit so much sensitivity is appalling. There is for me, now, a before and after I heard Mr. Frank Watkinson. Thank you very much for sharing this amazing talent you have with the rest of the world.
Great cover! I've been having a miserable day & was searching for something to listen to that expressed how I was feeling. This matched perfectly. I have a neurological disease that sometimes overwhelms me. I just can't pretend to be "Ok" all the time. On the outside I look young & healthy. And, usually, I see that as one of the upsides of my situation. But sometimes I wish I looked as miserable as I feel. I've been trying to take my dogs for a walk today...but I just couldn't. I couldn't even walk. As I write this I'm crying...which is actually a good thing. It's helped me release a little of this pain. Now, maybe I can stop feeling sorry for myself & give that walk another shot. Thank you
24 people are stupid enough to not to recognize this diamond here. I found your channel by accident, I'm a subscribed fan now, keep on going you are awesome!
Thank you. You have inspired me to start playing guitar myself and i just posted my first cover of this song. It´s quite rough but I only started a few months ago so I´m still proud of what I´ve done. I was terrified of posting since I am quite shy but I decided to do so anyway.
@@FrankWatkinson Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Been playing since February and it hasn't been easy balancing the guitar playing with work and social life. But I try to fit in atleast like 30 minutes playtime per day.
This is a great cover, much respect. So was the OG cover from the Man in Black, RIP. But I feel some respect should be shown to Trent Reznor. This is his original work. Merry Christmas 2020. Give a shout out to Trent Reznor too people. Let us have a much better 2021.
I played one of your videos for my boyfriend and he said he wanted to hear you sing this song and I said I'm pretty sure he already did that! Such a good video you sound great
I have a feeling that you would do a fantastic cover of “Planet Caravan” by Black Sabbath. Keep killing it sir, I speak for a lot of people when I say we love what you are putting out. Amazing.
This was wonderful, keep doing what your doing man! You should cover Wish you were here, it's a great song if you've never heard it before, I love NSP's cover of it.
can you be my grandpa?
Yes now its official .
I'm jelly. That's awesome
@@FrankWatkinson Can you be mine? both mine are gone.

You should do Ozzy’s ”Mama I’m coming home”, THIS IS AMAZING
I second this, mama im coming home please, sir!
please.... dew it!
YEAAAAAAAAH
I would love to hear him sing this as well.
This is weird, I left a similar comment on another video. I mentioned "So tired" and "Goodbye to romance".
This man renews my faith in humans! what a beauty, I just want to sit down and have a cold beer with this man and talk about life!
Church
We’re the gems of humankind.
If you do, can I join you all?! 😎
Agreed.
This!
You start playing and I cry. you could probably sing the alphabet and I would still cry. The honesty, love, and vulnerability come through loud and clear 💜. You're awesome
Well said 👍
Right!! I'm sobbing like a baby and I don't even know why other than I'm really feeling him❤️😥
Omg, true!
Found it! My suspicion was correct, the best cover I have ever heard. Amazing, thank you for blessing us with this.
Glad you like it!
I bounced around trying to find a cover I liked. This speaks to me. Thank you, Sir.
Thank you.
Here , here, I agree. Thank you for this. Perfect
Oh so many good covers.
You should definitely do "Changes" by Black Sabbath as well
I love the song
Wow, you sound like a heroin addict... And in this setting (maybe the only one) thats a good thing... (second changes... Would be great)

Nobody can ever cover this song better than this person
I agree.,
You are a great artist. The way you sing songs hits me harder than the originals. You are one of a kind, tons of respect for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, he did it.
Wow, Johnny Cash did a stunning version of the original but this is absolutely amazing. Beautiful guitar and voice.
When you sang snuff . You did sound kinda like cash
It killed me. Such a raw, tortured song. And Frank added another layer. Kudos.
Great Cover. I would love to hear a cover of Black - Pearl Jam from you! Keep it up man :)
Yes pleeeease
me too 🥺🥺🥺
Yes, please cover Black by Pear Jam 🙏
When first I heard you, I said to myself, “ I bet he could sing ‘Hurt’ as well or better than Johnny Cash.”
I was right.
❤️
Thank you, sir.
Wow, thank you!

U THOUGHT THE SAME
As a kid who was raised listening to the original and Johnny cash version I can honestly say this is awesome. I usually don't like covers of songs
Can we get these on Spotify 🥺🥺
Not yet i would have to pay a lot for copyright ,i'm looking into it if i could i would put them all on.
@@FrankWatkinson if possible pls do, i'll enjoy your covers here but spotify would be easier
But if you wanna check some original stuff, he has an artist profile open.spotify.com/artist/5zuFPXSQZHpptyS3GrufeA?si=Qr-UqtleTFqQMoQ8pNsf8A

His guitar playing is super underrated. No buzzed or muted notes. His finger picking is on point.
Greeting from Brazil, Mr Frank. I became your fan and with this great song I became even more fan, all the success and long life to you. 🇧🇷🇧🇷

It's not something i have ever wished for.

This man has pure talent. Seeing people who can sing and play like this these days is a rarity.
This song will never not give me chills.
fucking hell man props to you, this is hauntingly beautiful
Capaz no leas o entiendas esto, pero sos un rey 👑, Beautiful voice
Frank, this is a perfect song for your voice. You're rendition is wonderful. I also sing this song:
YOU TUBE: TOM KITCH
"HURT"
(JOHNNY CASH).
I bet you have some amazing stories of experiences you've had in life. Good and not so good , but id love to hear both. 🖤🤘🏻
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Songwriters: Trent Reznor
Finally someone who knows. This is a NIN song. Damn Cash who stolen it!
These are the lyrics for the NiN version of the song, he is singing and playing Cash’s.

You should ,that dog loves you.
I'm making something in tribute to one of my friends. This was my best friend's favorite song. It feels like she's with me.
Just listened to snuff cover and had to see if you did this song too...... ❤️❤️❤️
Trent Reznor, to Johnny Cash to Fank. Much power, in this song. Breaking silience between the finger strokes. It means so much to many. It's a beauty.
I did a version of this some years back, love this song and you do it justice.
Thank's it was a request i hadn't really heard it all the way through.
Frank you are very awesome! I’m so happy I found you so I can support you!
Anyone else notice the dog in the background? Great cover! Enjoyed listening.
when he did the Jhonny's fingering for the second verse at 1:37, I got mad chills
Got to do a cover of Simple Man some day, you are truly amazing!

Wow Frank unique voice..Awesome cover..great performer.. I am a fan!!
Thank you ,
Whas gonna request this song from. But decidee to check if you already covered it. Made my day Frank.
Absolutely smashed it mate 10 out of 10 from down under 👍🍺
No. You're amazing, I have to stop myself from commenting on every video!!! 😅 Wonderful
Great work would love to hear you cover Keith Richards
Wow. Just... wow! Excellent job! You are very talented sir!
There is no way someone consciously pressed the dislike button

Not really.

One of my fav NIN songs. And Johnny did it great justice. And so have you my friend, Frank. God bless you my brother from across the pond.
I think his version is closer to the original than to Johnnys version :D

Aow Seu Frank, aqui é do Brasil! Que isso nego véio??? Vc é inspirador, um abraço! sou seu fã!
Excellent Frank, as always my friend!
Man, Trent Reznor once said that Hurt is no longer his song, its Johnny's but you did one hell of a job Frank.
Do a Bob Dylan song, would be awesome!
